The Road from Home
The Story of an Armenian Girl
Chapter One
For as long as I knew the sky and the clouds, we lived in our white stucco house in the Armenian quarter of Azizya, in Turkey, but when the great dome of Heaven cracked and shattered, over our lives, and we were abandoned by the sun and blown like scattered seed across the Arabian desert, none returned but me, and my Azizya, my precious home, was made to crumble and fall and forever disappear from my life.
My father had gone to Afyon Karahissar to get his bride, and my grandmother used to say, "When he brought our harss [bride] from Afyon, we had music and dancing for one week, and I made thirty-five trays of pahklava [pastry] and thirty trays of khourabia [sugar cookies] for the wedding."
My grandmother's friends -- Turkish, Greek and Armenian -- all said, "Where did you find this girl? She looks like a country girl, tall and strong, and with such red cheeks."
My mother was gifted with her fingers, and she was strong and healthy. She was an expert weaver in addition to tending to her housework and her garden of vegetables and flowers.
I remember how she used to make khashkash from the poppy seeds. She would first brown the seeds in a frying pan and then grind them on a special stone. It made a kind of poppy-seed butter, and it was one of our staples. Every time she made a fresh batch she would invite her lady friends over for lunch. My mother was very gay and friendly, and she was always having her friends over because Fatherwas away so much of the time on business.
Everyone in the family was especially fond of my mother, because my aunt, the other bride in my grandmother's home, was delicate and frail and unable to do hard work. She was sick most of the time, and they used to say, "Vakh, vakh, our boy's life has been burnt; this bride has come to nothing."
At that time, and in that region, a sick bride was considered the worst thing of all. We all lived under one roof then, with my grandparents and aunts and uncles, but when I was five, we moved, with my sick aunt and uncle and cousin, to the new Armenian quarter. There we had the acreage we needed for growing poppies, because my father's business was harvesting and selling the gum that was used in making opium.
My mother and aunt had grown fond of one another when they lived at Grandma's, and then, when they moved to their new home, which was a duplex, my mother began looking after my aunt. They were the same age, and they had been the brides of my grandmother's house. They were referred to in this way because in the old country tradition the bride, or harss -- as she was forever after called -- had to travel to the home of the groom. It was not uncommon at that time for four generations to live under one roof. Because my mother had so much energy and was no doubt eager to please and to make a place for herself in this new home, and because she was kind and loving by nature as well, she was eager to help my aunt. So my mother would cook if my aunt was unable to cook, and wash if she was unable to wash, and every day she brought my aunt fresh water from the well before my uncle came home, and the members of the family would say, "Everything has turned out for the best since they moved to their new home. Lousapere is growing stronger day by day."
And my uncle was satisfied. He would say, "Everything is very nice now. Very nice!" Years later, in the midst of our great troubles, when my aunt and I were alone, adrift and homeless, she would say to me, "No matter how much I do for you, Veron, it cannot be too much. I can never repay your mother." She worried about me. She cared for me. She loved me like a daughter.
I was always grateful that it was my aunt Lousapere who moved with our family to the new house, and not my aunt Arousiag. I often heard members of our family gossiping about her, and I was so grateful that she was not living with us, because ours was a happy home and she didn't sound like a happy person to me. She was very pretty, but also very spoiled. Her mother and father lived close by, and I overheard the members ofour family say that she was always running home to her parents. This was a big disgrace, especially since our family and the Tehbelekians were the two wealthiest families in Azizya, and had, therefore, to set an example.
I was the first child born into our family. Soon after, my sister, Yeghisapet, was born, followed by my brother Apkar and then my brother Harutiun, who was just a baby when I was five years old and we moved to our new home.
Yeghisapet and I had one doll between us. It was a smooth-faced, beautiful doll, and we were very intent when we played with it. We would dress it, undress it, scold it, tease it, hug it, put it to bed, wake it up, change its clothes, teach it manners, etc., and all this without ever a fight between us.
My father was very different from my mother. He was frail, and fair-skinned, and almost always silent. He was a businessman, and highly respected. He Would travel over the country with the gum we harvested from our poppies or with mohair, which he also sold, and he would return with big sums of money.
We always looked forward to his return, because every evening, when he was at home, he would play the saz (a small string instrument), and my mother would cook something special, and we would all be together, eating and laughing, and everybody would be happy because Father was home.The Road from Home

Part of Firefox for GNU/Linux too Rated 1 out of 5 stars
There's an inbuilt feature in Firefox for GNU/Linux that generates PDF files from the Menu Bar under "File - Print...." then select "Print to File".
Please change the description to: "This allows users on Windows to print web pages to PDF. GNU/Linux and Mac users of newer Firefox versions already have this functionality."
The developers email is dead too.
Sencillo pero poderoso Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Es la mejor herramienta de impresión que he encontrado. Que bueno que se pudiera parametrizar una ruta por defecto, que se abriera el documento una vez creado y que permitiera parametrizar el nombre del documento de forma automática.
Funciona perfecto en FF 32.0.3
He probado los competidores pero este pequeño gigante es quien mejor resultado ofrece.
Useful little tool (works Linux - FF 28) Rated 4 out of 5 stars
This is a useful little tool to save to PDF. While it states that it targets FF 3, it has worked for me for a long time and still working on FF 28.
The only hassle is that you need to add the customary .pdf extension yourself.
Still works for me on Firefox 27 Rated 4 out of 5 stars
I've been using this for a while now. It still works for me on Firefox 27 if you turn off "hardware acceleration" in Firefox options.
Always Crashes Firefox Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Tried PrintPDF 3x, crashed FF 3x. However, found a different PDF creating extension that works like dream ... "Print pages to Pdf." Similar names, but a world of difference. Best to you!This user has a previous review of this add-on.

This crashes FF26 - shame.

easy , simple, fast, robust

How to use this addon? I haven't found the way!!!
A once-great extension that now crashes every time Rated 1 out of 5 stars
I've used this extension numerous times in the past, and it was excellent (kudos to the developer). Now, using it with Firefox 24.0, crashes every time :(
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Crashes in latest Firefox when trying to print.
Please improve usage convenience Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Thanks to the developer firstly.A convenient add-on to save pages as pdf even offline, just what I need.I think why it doesn't work normally on some system might be no printer that support pdf printing installed, even you don't use such machine.I also found that it works on windows 7 or 8 by running firefox with compatibility mode for xp.I use this add-on often. Can developer add a shortcut and a default target directory to improve usage convenience?
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Crashed my browser repeatedly, tried printing three pages from different sites. FF22.0
not necessary on linux, either Rated 2 out of 5 stars
Linux users, like Mac users, also are able to print to pdf. Just choose file -> print -> print to file, and choose pdf. Thus, this addon is not necessary for linux users.
Rated 2 out of 5 stars
Установил в Windows 7, при попытке отправить страницу на печать аварийно завершается Firefox. Увы, а такие надежды у меня были...
Works better than Acrobat ! Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Works better than Acrobat or any other printing utility that I have found for Web Pages.
One Thing - would like to see it install as an item under "Printers" so that it would work with "Print Edit" for FF.
Good, but.. Rated 4 out of 5 stars
It's good add-on, but the characters that is not available as filename, for example '/' on Windows, should be replaced to other available character when saving pdf file.
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Прикольное дополнение
Did not work at all Rated 1 out of 5 stars
I tried printing two different web pages, and none of the text showed up at all. What a waste of time.
not as good as it once was Rated 1 out of 5 stars
This addon used to be the best on my firefox, now it doesnt do the same thing any more
Simple, fast & free. Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Terrific add-on makes things much easier.

I followed this recipe but chose to use all organic, fresh vegetables rather than frozen versions, and substituted low sodium vegetable broth for beef broth because I monitor my blood pressure. I cooked dry Lima beans in advance, then used them in the recipe. The flavors were amazing, with great depth. Where the recipe calls for frozen mixed soup or stew vegetables I used whole foods including a potato, a beet, two carrots, one stalk of celery, 15 oz of fresh cherry tomatoes quartered, four cloves of garlic, and one Baby Bella mushroom. I also used Swiss Chard rather than endive. I also increased the quantity of Lima beans because I used two cups of dry beans. One of the best parts of this approach was my ability to use up some of the vegetables that were in my pantry. I can't wait for the leftovers!
Minestrone with Endive & Pepperoni
From EatingWell: September/October 2009
Considering that this minestrone soup incorporates mostly frozen vegetables, it is remarkably savory and aromatic. Look for frozen soup or stew vegetables with potatoes, carrots, celery and onion in the mix to give the soup the best flavor. Although pepperoni isn't traditionally part of minestrone soup, you'll find it's a great shortcut to add spicy, complex flavor.
9 Reviews for Minestrone with Endive & Pepperoni
Excellent flavor. I substituted the endive for spinach when I made it the second time and also used canned diced tomatoes with zesty green chilies. I added more broth and a little bit more pasta. It was perfect.
Excellent flavor. I substituted the endive for spinach when I made it the second time and also used canned diced tomatoes with zesty green chilies. I added more broth and a little bit more pasta. It was perfect.
Not the best menestrone I have ever had but its the best I have ever made. It was really easy and had a good flavor. My family liked it and they aren't big soup people. I really like this recipe because it was easy, healthy and had a good flavor. I will probably make this again... I like chick peas in my minestrone and usually i use cabbage (like i did in this) rather than endive because i am not accustomed to buying endive but i will try with the endive and see what a difference it makes :)
I used the new tiny round Turkey pepperoni in this, making it even more healthy. The veggie soup mix I found had the lima beans already in it, along with other veggies as well as those mentioned. I usually pick out the big chunks of veggies but loved all...the flavor is Awesome.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Tally-ho! From bestseller Brown (Outfoxed and many other delicious books) comes a dashing and vibrant novel that revolves around foxhunting. The rolling hills of central Virginia are home to the Jefferson Hunt-and to scores of sly foxes, red, black and gray. When 34-year-old Peppermint dies peacefully of natural causes, the grave dug for the beloved horse uncovers the skeleton of Nola Bancroft, identifiable by her ring, the Hapsburg sapphire. The ravishing Nola disappeared without a trace from Sorrel Burrus's party 21 years earlier, leaving behind a shocked and, eventually, mourning father and mother, Edward and Tedi, and a sister, Sibyl. Many members of the hunt thought she'd eloped with handsome (but socially inferior) Guy Ramy, the sheriff's son, who went missing at the same time. Seventy-one-year-old Master of the Hunt Jane "Sister" Arnold soon finds herself searching for human prey as well as foxes. The author portrays the hunt family with such warmth and luxury of detail, one feels a friendship with each and every character, animals included. The reader will romp through the book like a hunter on a thoroughbred, never stopping for a meal or a night's sleep. A glossary of useful terms will aid those who've never ridden to the hounds.

From Library Journal
While burying a dead horse, several members of the Jefferson Hunt Club uncover a human body. Seventysomething master of the hunt Jane Arnold recognizes the ring on the skeleton's finger. It belonged to a sexy young club member who, along with her boyfriend, disappeared 21 years earlier. Later, the young man's skeleton is also found. Having believed that she knew her club's members well, Jane is stunned to realize that one or more of them may be murderers. Determined to uncover the killer, she sets a trap (which is very contrived, compelling the reader to suspend disbelief). Despite the promising beginning, this follow-up to Outfoxed ultimately disappoints. There is too much tell and not enough show, and endless dialog from the human and animal characters distracts rather than adds to the plot. Recommended only for public libraries with avid Brown fans.

Some reviewers complained that the book gets too deeply into the day to day life of the hunt but that IS what the book is about :Sister Jane's life with murder thrown in to complicate things. I loved Sister. She's a tough old girl with a mind as sharp as Jane Marple. My only regret with this entire series is that Sister is 71. I hope this series goes on for quite a while and at this rate Sister may have to live to be over 100 like Poirot did.
If you want a book that offers a complete escape from the ordinary and you want a book that takes its time to settle into the story then you'll like Hostspur.
In this book, the mystery seemed more of a side plot, with the hunting information taking precedence. I am sure this is what other readers complained about. This was not a big enough flaw for me to avoid finishing the book, I actually got through it quickly because I enjoyed it. So it wasn't gory...big deal. The mystery dealt with an old cold case, that actually wasn't even a case, since no one knew what had happened to the people involved. One beautiful young woman disappears off the face of the earth, along with one of her boyfriends. Unfortunately, the inevitable change in ground and water levels, added to hunting and dogs digging brought up some old bones, proving to be human.
Sister, the head of the hunt in this area, may be older, but certainly has not lost either her riding/hunting abilities, or her concern for others.Read more ›
I love Jane "Sister" Arnold, the 71 year-old Master of the Hunt and her friends/hounds/horses, but the details in this book would appeal to only the most dedicated hunt fan. I did learn one good thing, however. Americans only hunt the fox to its den, not like their brutal British cousins who hunt to the death.
HOTSPUR's murder mystery takes a second -- or sometimes third -- seat to the machinations of the hunt season, the old money, the social climbers and all the ins and outs of hunt life. I suppose if you're a member of that set, these details and the constant fretting over your horse, your wardrobe and your standing in your club would make for good reading.
It just doesn't play in Peoria....or a small town in east Texas.
I'll continue to read Rita Mae Brown and hope she realizes she's exhausted the hunt and it's time to move on to other prey.
"Hotspur" centers on the murder of Nola Bancroft. Nola, was the beautiful and capricious younger daughter of the well heeled Bancrofts, Edward and Tedi. And about twenty-one years ago, she disappeared. Since she was dating the sheriff's dashing son, Guy, and her parents openly disapproved of that relationship, everyone assumed when the couple suddenly disappeared that Nola and Guy had eloped. But as the years passed and nothing was heard of the pair, local gossip also included the speculation that Guy had murdered Nola in a fit of anger and left town in order to avoid arrest. The recent discovery of Nola's body now bolsters the latter theory. But "Sister" Jane Arnold, Master of the Jefferson Hunt Club doesn't believe that Guy murdered Nola, and she's determined to discover what really happened even if it means reopening old wounds and stirring things up -- even a murderer's ire...Read more ›

Managing Up The Age Ladder
Most Baby Boomers are at a point in their careers where they don't need much direct supervision. However, for the young manager/older employee relationship, it's important to have a frank conversation about boundaries and communication requirements early on, because the potential for misunderstanding and hurt feelings is so much greater when the age difference is reversed. For example, how often, and in what manner, do one expect an employee to inform one about day-to-day events? How do one want him to communicate? Phone? E-mail? Twitter? At what point do one expect him to involve in a problem? Make sure he knows one won't micromanage or interfere with his getting his job done.

Three songs into the self-titled debut from The National, Matt Berninger -- himself an outsider and something of an obsessive -- spits out the lyric: "I hope you don't remember me ... I don't want to know what you're thinking/I'm looking out the window, I'm sitting here just fucking drinking." It's a naked, bracing moment, one steeped deep in regret and despair. It's the sad confession of a man too sober to forget his mistakes but too drunk to summon anything other than bilious self-loathing.
The National is full of moments like these: lovers described as nightingales, workers described as crows. More than anything else, the record conjures the image of a sick and sweating man alone at a table inside a cabin that's dark as tarpaper, half-empty bottle next to him, letter full of confessions before him.
"I don't know if I'd call it self-loathing," says Berninger, speaking from the Manhattan-based Web-design company where he works. "I think it's more like self-indulgence. A lot of these songs were written in the winter when it was cold, and I'd go home and drink and dwell on mistakes I'd made. There's a lot of pining on the record."
Berninger and the other members of The National -- brothers Bryan and Scott Devendorf and Aaron Dessner -- recorded the album over a half-year's time, logging studio hours after each clocked out of their day jobs, meticulously crafting each dour melody and bitter phrase-turn. The result is a record of startling effectiveness, a merciless hybrid of plaintive American folk with the mordant gallows humor of Nick Cave and Jarvis Cocker. Berninger's basement-level voice is of the same timbre as Tom Waits, and the Devendorfs' mostly acoustic arrangements are masterful in their simplicity.
"With these songs, there's a lot I got out of my system," he says. "The songwriters that have the most impact on me are the ones that expose a lot of personal things in interesting ways, in honest ways. That might be indulgent, but I'd rather take that chance and walk that line than to be too safe or too saccharine."
Berninger nurtured his pessimism as a student at St. Xavier's High School in Cincinnati, a boy's parochial institution that, as Berninger says, "had a relatively negative influence on my maturation." He met Scott Devendorf at the University of Cincinnati, and after graduation the two moved to Brooklyn with Dessner and Scott's brother, Bryan. "We didn't plan to stay very long," Berninger says, "but we've done well. In Cincinnati, it's too easy to find a homogenous niche and not really expose yourself to influences outside your social cluster."
Though Berninger denies that the record is about a specific relationship, the 12 songs function together as a sort of stinging confessional. It moves from flippant dismissal ("Put your spine in your back and your arms in your coat/Don't hold on to me when there's nothing to hold"), through sickening admission ("Once ruined, baby, you stay ruined") to the chilling, empty surrender of "29 Years," the record's culminating lament.
In that last one, Berninger's rumbling baritone, disembodied and practically phantomlike, numbly recites the lyrics, "You know I dreamed about you for 29 years before I saw you/You know I dreamed about you, I missed you for 29 years." In the background, Devendorf scrapes a pick across the metal guitar strings. The song works to terrifying effect, and the sound of the dry voice against the crackling strings is not unsettling because of what it says, but because of how it sounds: Stark, desperate and numb, it's like a man reading a letter inside a cabin that's slowly burning to the ground.

Twitter recently made the decision to replace its Favorite button with a Like button giving users a new way to show their appreciation for Tweets.
Of course, Facebook has been using this feature for years. This sudden change at Twitter may have come as a shock to the system for avid social media users, but it's not the first time that something like this has happened. In 2013, taking a leaf out of Twitter's book, Facebook added a panel showing trending hashtags to its homepage.
Social media platforms seem to be slowly blending into one and to prove it, here are three examples of social media features that are now spread across a multitude of platforms.
To appeal to new users, Twitter has swapped its Favorite feature for a Like feature, symbolised by a heart. According to Twitter, newcomers often found the Favorite feature (with its star symbol) confusing and were unsure what they should use it for.
Crucially for businesses, it's likely that companies that use Twitter will get more Likes than they did Favorites because liking something has a much lower barrier than making it your Favourite. However, this move by Twitter could reduce the number of retweets and these currently generate the most social reach for many firms.
It's hard to ignore the surge in video across all social media channels.
Recently, Facebook introduced an auto-play feature, making it impossible to avoid the viral videos that fill our news feeds. Image-sharing platform Instagram also introduced a 15-second video feature, responding to the micro-video craze established by Vine. Twitter rolled out 30-second videos for tweets and began offering promoted video ads. Even Pinterest unveiled Cinematic Pins, a GIF-like video feature.
Video sharing has even created micro-celebrities, including Cian Twomey, an Irish Facebook user who rose to fame after posting videos of himself impersonating his girlfriend. Cian's Facebook page now has over three million Likes.
Anyone who has been tagged in an unflattering photo on Facebook will be unhappy to find out that Twitter has also adopted this feature. Rather than listing the names of the people in the tweet, users can now tag them in the photo.
Thankfully, anyone tagged in a photo can amend or delete the tag themselves. The photo will only appear in the original Tweeter's stream, unless tagged users choose to retweet. One thing worth knowing about this feature is that the default setting for private accounts is to not allow any tagging.
Like it or not, it's clear that social media channels are slowly converging on a single set of standards.

Video may have killed the radio star back in 1978 but it's proving to be a very successful form of marketing in the digital age. If you haven't used it already, it's time to produce your first marketing video — and here's why.
In our fast-paced daily life, we use our smartphone and tablets as a one-stop source of information and content. This has fuelled the popularity of video marketing — it's visually stimulating content with great graphics and motivating music, perfect for capturing attention in a busy world.
According to a 2013 online survey on video marketing trends by Flimp Media:
What's more, video is shared more than any other source of online content — video market research company Invodo has found that over half of consumers feel more confident about buying a product or service after watching a video.
And with the rolling out of 4G and platforms such as You Tube, Vimeo and Wistia, video content has never been simpler to create. The accessibility and affordability of video recording equipment means that it not as expensive to make a video today. Starting from as little at £40 for a one-minute video, there is a video production company out there to suit your needs and budget.
Sara Parker is marketing officer at Face for Business.
Video for social media — known as social video — has become the choice for many brands on social networks. Advertising has moved from a 30-second slot people try to avoid on TV to social video content which viewers are willing to share with their social networks. Social video is enabling brands to share their message in a way that the audience will listen to.
People's trust in traditional media is declining, with recommendations from friends, social media and blogs now key influencers when it comes to purchasing decisions. This, coupled with the SEO benefits, means brands are increasingly seeing social media as a vital channel.
The key to social media for brands is their ability to engage with audiences and this is increasingly being done through visually compelling content. Social video is created for the purpose of being shared online and to add to the social experience of the viewer.
When used strategically, social video on social media channels can help brands drive a number of their objectives, including generating engagement, increasing brand awareness and evoking a brand's personality.
How does video do this?
The rewards are clear, with research suggesting that immediately after viewing a company's video, buyers are 40% more likely to visit a company's website or contact a company via phone (eMarketer, 2011).
Research by Brightcove has also found that videos shared through social media perform better than other videos, with higher engagement rates and higher completion rates, allowing brands to share their message to an audience who are listening.
Indeed, brands are expected to spend 47% more on video advertising in 2012 than last year (Techcrunch), suggesting that video continues to be one of, if not the most engaging and emotive forms of content for marketers.

Tim Smit did something which many people said was impossible. He raised almost £100 million and then built the world's largest greenhouse in a huge hole in the ground.
The Netherlands-born British businessman is widely recognised as one of the most accomplished entrepreneurs in the UK. Educated as an archaeologist, Smit became heavily involved in the music industry before turning his focus to the Eden Project.
While many thought that Smit would run out of energy and money, and therefore fail, he led the charge do raise funding for the initiative, and then led the project to build three transparent biomes in an old china clay pit in the south of England. The biomes contain different eco-climates which represent climates found throughout the world. The Eden Project aims to educate people about environmental issues and engage them to do something about those issues.
If you have an idea which you want to turn into a reality, a challenge which you need to face or a business which you would like to grow, it would be worth your while taking a moment to listen to what Smit has to say.

Claudio Monteverdi's Il quarto libro de madrigali a cinque voci (1603) ends with a setting of 'Piagn'e sospira: e quand'i caldi raggi', a text from Tasso's Gerusalemme conquistata (1593). Nicea, a Muslim in love with a Christian, wanders through the forest carving her beloved's name in the trees, and weeps as she re-reads what she has scored in the bark. Monteverdi's Fourth Book of madrigals is an odd collection. Fifteen months before, the composer had been appointed maestro della musica to Duke Vincenzo Gonzaga of Mantua. However, instead of responding in what might seem the normal way – by printing something in the duke's honour – Monteverdi chose to dedicate a madrigal book to the Accademia degli Intrepidi of Ferrara. Even stranger is the fact that he makes no direct mention of what must have been uppermost in his mind, the recent attack on his madrigals by the Bolognese theorist Giovanni Maria Artusi. Artusi's diatribe against the moderns eventually forced the composer to come up with the defence of his 'second' practice. However, re-reading 'Piagn'e sospira'– as the text tells us to do – suggests that before Monteverdi put his theoretical brain in gear, he had already come up with a musical response.

Natalizumab induces a rapid improvement of disability status and ambulation after failure of previous therapy in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.

Background: Natalizumab (Tysabri) is a monoclonal antibody that was recently approved for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Our primary objective was to analyse the efficacy of natalizumab on disability status and ambulation after switching patients with RRMS from other disease-modifying treatments (DMTs). Methods: A retrospective, observational study was carried out. All patients (n = 45) initiated natalizumab after experiencing at least 1 relapse in the previous year under interferon-beta (IFNB) or glatiramer acetate (GA) treatments. The patients also had at least 1 gadolinium-enhancing (Gd+) lesion on their baseline brain MRI. Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores, and performance on the Timed 25-Foot Walk Test and on the Timed 100-Metre Walk Test were prospectively collected every 4 weeks during 44 weeks of natalizumab treatment. Brain MRI scans were performed after 20 and 44 weeks of treatment. Results: Sixty-two per cent of patients showed no clinical and no radiological signs of disease activity, and 29% showed a rapid and confirmed EDSS improvement over 44 weeks of natalizumab therapy. Patients with improvement on the EDSS showed similar levels of baseline EDSS and active T1 lesions, but had a significantly higher number of relapses, and 92% of them had experienced relapse-mediated sustained EDSS worsening in the previous year. A clinically meaningful improvement in ambulation speed was observed in approximately 30% of patients. Conclusions: These results indicate that natalizumab silences disease activity and rapidly improves disability status and walking performance, possibly through delayed relapse recovery in patients with RRMS who had shown a high level of disease activity under other DMTs.

Paradoxically, their participation to the school swimming lessons is clearly lower. Is it still necessary to maintain swimming courses at school?

As a result of both a political and a scientific thinking, the Belgian Fund for Occupational Diseases (FOD) has launched, starting March 1st 2005, a pilot project for the nursing staff in the health care sector in order to prevent the transition of low back pain (LBP) to chronicity through a program promoting an early return to work. Target workers are those being off work due to LBP for at least 4 weeks and maximum 3 months. The program involves a standardised multidisciplinary back rehabilitation program on the one hand, and on the other hand an ergonomics intervention in the health care institution. Depending on the context, the workplace intervention may involve an ergonomic analysis with the participation of the sicklisted worker, a larger group-based ergonomics redesign, or temporary change in the worker duty or work time in order to facilitate his/her return to work. The employer gets a financial incentive from the FOD when he agrees to such an intervention. Due to a lack of communication among the target population, this pilot project has had a slow start; the presentation gives a qualitative overview of the first 100 cases having entered the program.

Aims Based on a new policy for managing work-related diseases, the Belgian government has launched, starting March 1st 2005, an evidence-based program to promote an early return to work and to prevent chronic low back pain (LBP). Target workers belong to the health care sector and must be off work due to LBP for at least 4 weeks and maximum 3 months. Considering the challenge in applying an innovative program on such a large scale, its implementation was carefully monitored by a task force created within the Fund for Occupational Diseases (FOD) and various process and impact evaluations carried out to identify barriers to its possible extension to other categories of workers. Methods The program can be defined as a "return to work" (RTW) program and involves a multidisciplinary back rehabilitation program available through more than 40 rehabilitation centres across the country, and an ergonomics intervention in the health care institutions to be carried out by the OH prevention service. Financial incentives are allowed to both the patient and the employer to stimulate participation. For every worker included in the project, data are systematically retrieved both by the rehabilitation centre and the prevention service using standardized forms. Questions arising from the various stakeholders (workers, trade unions, employers, general practitioners, OH physicians) about the program are systematically recorded by the task force. In addition, a phone survey has been conducted among the first 83 participants (out of 91 accepted applications) to know the managing path followed by each worker, and to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the designed program. Results One year after its official launch, the program was found to have reached 5.1% to 14.6% of the target population depending on the estimation basis chosen. Only 18.5% of the participants had seen or read the information leaflet edited by the FOD in the two national languages (in 20.000 exemplars). The main access criterion (>= 4 weeks sick leave), even supported by a solid scientific evidence, has been considered too severe by many stakeholders; the possibility to access the program during a relapse of a pain episode was not properly understood. Arising from wrong beliefs about back pain and its treatment, some patients but also their treating physicians were not keen to participate to such an active program. Entering the program also implied a visit by the OH physician during the sick leave, a new procedure still rarely used in the enterprises. Some employers worried about the program becoming a stimulus for extending the sick leave period instead of shortening it, but the collected data did not support this assumption. Potential concurrence between health professionals had also a negative influence in some areas. Regarding its content, the program was consistently applied in its medical component, well formalized within the Belgian health care system, but much less in its ergonomics component that was highly dependent on each institution own dynamic for prevention. As regard the program impact at short term, 98% of the participants did return to work and for 79% of them well before the end of the rehabilitation treatment in the centre; subjective improvements were recorded in 85% to 91% of the workers depending on the variable considered. Discussion and conclusions Informing about 90.000 workers in hundreds of health care institutions was a challenge and would have needed an ambitious media campaign. The project being completely innovative in the Belgian context, it implies deep changes in the traditional interactions between different health professionals and it requests altering very common beliefs about back pain. Such beliefs or behaviours cannot be changed in a few months! More fundamentally this project shows that there is long way to go before implementing with success at a national scale, interventions originally developed and tested in well controlled conditions and in a selected number of settings: return to work research has yet to evolve from establishing efficacy to proving effectiveness.

This review presents seven national asthma programmes to support the European Asthma Research and Innovation Partnership in developing strategies to reduce asthma mortality and morbidity across Europe. From published data it appears that in order to influence asthma care, national/regional asthma programmes are more effective than conventional treatment guidelines. An asthma programme should start with the universal commitments of stakeholders at all levels and the programme has to be endorsed by political and governmental bodies. When the national problems have been identified, the goals of the programme have to be clearly defined with measures to evaluate progress. An action plan has to be developed, including defined re-allocation of patients and existing resources, if necessary, between primary care and specialised healthcare units or hospital centres. Patients should be involved in guided self-management education and structured follow-up in relation to disease severity. The three evaluated programmes show that, thanks to rigorous efforts, it is possible to improve patients' quality of life and reduce hospitalisation, asthma mortality, sick leave and disability pensions. The direct and indirect costs, both for the individual patient and for society, can be significantly reduced. The results can form the basis for development of further programme activities in Europe.

In Belgium, individual laboratory and treatment data of all HIV-infected patients seen in the 9 AIDS Reference Centres and 7 AIDS Reference Laboratories are collected prospectively since 2006. We present here an analysis of patients recorded in the cohort database between 1st of January 2006 and 31st of December 2008. During that period, 11982 patients were under medical follow-up in Belgium. Sixty-one percent of the patients were male and the median age was 39.8 at the time of first recorded viral load. Among the patients whose nationality or probable mode of transmission was recorded, nearly half (48.0%) were Belgian and 38.3% originated from Sub-Saharan Africa; heterosexual contacts were reported in the majority of cases (56.0%) followed by homosexual contacts (35.3%). A total of 145 deaths were reported. Around three quarters of the patients were on ART. The median CD4 cell count rose from 470 cells/mm3 in 2006 to 501 cells/mm3 in 2008. This cohort enabled us to obtain comprehensive information on the numbers and characteristics of HIV-infected patients currently being followed up in Belgium, and on trends in antiretroviral therapy and biological results. This will serve for planning purposes, evaluation of access to care and as a source of information for further studies. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 57 (21 ULg)

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Patients' and physicians' perceptions of ulcerative colitis and its management are important for developing and guiding appropriate therapies. This study explored national differences in patients' and physicians' experiences, expectations, and beliefs about ulcerative colitis. METHODS: Structured, cross-sectional, online surveys evaluating various indices were completed by 775 adult patients with ulcerative colitis and 475 physicians actively managing ulcerative colitis patients from France, Germany, Ireland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Canada. RESULTS: Patients' classification of their symptom severity differed across countries (mild, 16%-45%; moderate, 46%-58%; severe, 4%-36%). Expectations of disease control also varied, with 26% (Ireland) to 65% (Spain) describing that remission realistically involves "living without symptoms." Within each country, more patients (45%-69%) than physicians (28%-45%) considered ulcerative colitis symptoms to affect patients' quality of life. Mean number of patient-reported flares during the past year ranged from 2.5 in Ireland to 8.0 in France. Self-reported adherence with oral 5-aminosalicylic acid (during remission) was highest in Spain (91% vs 50%-73% across other countries). Spanish patients were more likely to self-adjust their medications (54% vs 2%-5%), but reported the most dissatisfaction with therapy (42% vs 9%-27%). Irish patients were least likely to arrange physician/specialist nurse visits (14% vs 36%-49%) and least open to discussion of their condition. CONCLUSIONS: Important national differences in ulcerative colitis patients' attitudes and perceptions were observed, which may help physicians improve patient care based on country-specific needs and influence self-assessments in clinical trials. The results suggest a need for structured patient education to improve adherence and outcomes. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 37 (3 ULg)

Forests are the most biodiverse terrestrial ecosystems. National forest inventories (NFIs) are the main source of information on the status and trends of forests, but they have traditionally been designed to assess land coverage and the production value of forests rather than forest biodiversity. The primary international processes dealing with biodiversity and sustainable forest management, the convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), Forest Europe, Streamlining European Biodiversity Indicators 2010 of the European Environmental Agency, and the Montréal Process, all include indicators related to forest biodiversity. The scope of this article is to review and present possibilities offered by NFIs to harmonize estimation of indicators useful for international forest and present possibilities offered by NFIs to harmonize estimation of indicators useful for international forest biodiversity monitoring and reporting. We summarize key findings from Working Group 3 of Action E43 (« Harmonization of National Forest Inventories in Europe : Techniques for Common Reporting ») of the European program Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST). We discuss definitions and techniques for harmonizing estimates of possible biodiversity indicators based on data from NFIs in Europe and the United States. We compare these possible indicators with indicators selected by international processes. The results demonstrate that NFIs can report comparable or harmonized estimates of indicators for multiple biodiversity features (forest categories, deadwood, forest age, forest structure, and forest naturalness), but for others (ground vegetation and regeneration) NFIs should invest more in harmonization efforts. On the basis of these key findings, we recommend that NFIs should represent a main component of a future global biodiversity monitoring network as urgently requested by the CBD.

National Mythology and Colonial Trauma in Alex Miller's Journey to the Stone Country

In 1991 the Australian government instigated a process of reconciliation between indigenous and non-indigenous people. This process aimed at laying the foundations of a postcolonial nation through the establishment of the truth about the past, the acknowledgment of the injustices inflicted on the natives, and the development of appropriate forms of justice. Hidden facts about dispossession and genocide were divulged thanks to various inquiries carried out throughout the country. Such hideous facts plunged settler Australians into angst and guilt and prompted many contemporary white novelists to tackle the hitherto taboo issue of colonialism and its legacies in their works. At first glance, this literary endeavour to deal with the darkest chapter in the Australian history appears as a genuine determination to confront the trauma of the colonial past. Nevertheless, a closer look at some contemporary Australian novels reveals an altogether different intention. My dissertation seeks to explore the fictional representations of colonialism and Aboriginal suffering in one of these novels, namely, Alex Miller's Journey to the Stone Country (2002), in order to emphasise how, through the use of subtle representational and discursive strategies, the author contrives to lessen the impact of the colonial violence. Annabelle Beck, a descendant of British settlers, and Bo Rennie, a former Aboriginal ringer, set out on a journey from Burranbah in Central Queensland to the sacred ground of the Jangga people. As the journey unfolds, a disturbing past of injustice and loss emerges. The two main protagonists are brought to discover their common history as members of neighbouring families. The exploration of their past culminates in the revelation of a massacre in which Bo's ancestors were savagely killed by Annabelle's grandfather and his friends. Admittedly, the author tackles the controversial issues of inter-racial relationships, dispossession, and the legacies of colonial violence, yet his approach is far from being postcolonial. The first part of the dissertation will, indeed, attempt to examine how he makes use of the representational strategies to portray the Aboriginal characters as uneducated, untrustworthy, and racist. Furthermore, this part will emphasise that Miller tends to dismantle colonial myths only to construct neo-colonial ones, particularly, the equal importance of European and Aboriginal heritages. This assumption of egalitarianism is, in fact, not as fair as it seems at first sight given the long history of injustices to which Aborigines were subjected. The second part of the dissertation is dedicated to the analysis of the author's response to the colonial trauma. A close reading of the novel in the lights of trauma theories reveals that the author resists the full understanding and acknowledgement of the truth about the past. He, indeed, undermines his avowed intention of exposing the atrocities inflicted on Aboriginal people through a series of discursive strategies. The dissertation will mainly draw on Dominick LaCapra's writings about trauma to suggest that Miller is caught within the process of what LaCapra refers to as "acting out", that is to say the tendency to repress the traumatic past to avoid any critical confrontation. Therefore, though he apparently engages in the venture of exploring the colonial past, Miller advocates the law of silence, a law which is hardly compatible with the requirements of a true reconciliation.

Look at HPQ. Even if you use $4.00 earnings for 2011 (estimates are $5.01) $24.60/$4 = 6.15 P/E.... Unbelieveable.Looks like I got in a bit early though.
Tell me how someone that averaged down from 22 to 19.50 that will eventually sell all those shares well above either of those prices was "wrong."What a clueless daytrader. I guess we'll never be on the same page, wldbgrow, as you are small time.
Yes, INTC is super cheap and pays a 4% great yield. Long INTC! Should be a $30 stock IMO.
Could easily be even cheaper on Monday.Poor pre-exdividend buyers, greed for .21 cost them about 3.00. Some safety play. and those who averaged down, mistake.Markets still have not retested lows, and lower lows just might be firstPity you didn't short it when you sold it, lol
Anyone buying down here?
The low P/E is interesting but HPQ said that its problem was competition from Oracle.
I can't believe the PE's out there. COF has a pe of 5, lucky for me I thought it was cheap at PE of 7.Also, though I sold it, GNK has a PE of 2 !I wish I had more money to put in the market to let sit for years but these low valuations make me feel like the stock market is run by computers and will never return. Like everyone quotes, buy when everyone is fearful, I feel like fearful is going to be when PE's are less than 1, lol. F this market (and I don't mean Ford ;)
P/E's tend to mean very little when the government prints monopoly money. Horrific way to invest.
Looks like the kind of PE that we saw during the 1973 oil embargo.

More Background Manipulation with the GIMP
Foreground Select
Why not just use the foreground select tool?
Quick Mask Tip
When you are in quick mask mode, you don't have to change to the erase tool to remove the mask. If you look at an alpha channel mask, you see that the mask is black and the unmasked area is white. You can just keep using the pen tool but switch the foreground and background color between black and white to add/remove the mask. Black with "paint" more mask and white will erase the mask.
I noticed something "strange" happening when I was doing one of my video "takes" and I had the foreground/background colors swapped, but... I didn't take time to figure it out.
So thanks for the tip, I only hope I'll remember it the next time I need it :).

A more appropriate way to
A more appropriate way to accomplish the action of extracting "Chilli Dog" from his/her background would to have been to use a Layer Mask, thus making the editing "non-destructive" should you ever have to go back and fix a transparency mistake 7 hours down the road into a project.

feather and transparent
I find it better to use some 'feathering' when selecting these types of images, to help soften the edges of the subject (chilli dog in this example). Then when removing the background, the subject has softer edges.
If you then save the image with a transparent background (png files have this, gimp files have it, but jpegs do not), you don't have any of the slightly-blue borders.
Nice tutorial, that QuickMask button is new to me!
More Info Please
I know in theory what you're referring to and I think I've accidentally stumbled across it when cutting out images, but I've never been able to figure out exactly how I got there. So a bit more info on how to do this would be nice.

Feathered edges
> So a bit more info on how to do this would be nice.
In the Gimp, once you've chosen a Selection tool (such as the Lasso/Free Select that you picked), the bottom half of the toolbox changes to that tool's options.
Click the box []Feathered Edges and then you can adjust its radius, which is basically the distance from your line that will become slowly faded from fully opaque to fully transparent. This will help the image appear to blend in better with the background. I do not know how this works in conjunction with the Quick Mask thing, that should be tested a bit.
Note, if you then paste this onto a blue background (or whatever) for later use as you suggested, your fade will have some blue in it which pretty much ruins the effect. Much better to then save it as a file format that allows transparency (such as PNG), and just keep the background empty (transparent).
Yes, you could have done color select, you just hold down shift when you're doing it so you can select more than one color. And I would have changes the lighting a bit in the photo so the dog would fit in with the rest of the photo. and I would have had the background color as transparent, not blue, because if its blue then (as you can see) there is a little blue lining around the dog when you paste him in.
That's a good point. I have a bit of a phobia about "transparency" I think. Every time I have an image with transparency something seems to not work like I think it should. But, remember I'm no gimp expert so I'm 100% sure it's just my lack of knowledge about the gimp that is causing me problems.

Very funny!
Thanks Mitch!
Very funny and basic for Gimp, right?
Basic Once You Know It
It's fairly basic stuff I guess but if you're new to the gimp or only use it occasionally some of these things are far from obvious. I'm an occasional gimp user and I've only recently discovered these "basic" things.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Gabriel Du Pré's Aunt Pauline has a list of husbands and ex-husbands and future husbands even she herself has trouble remembering. So Du Pré isn't exactly surprised when she shows up in Toussaint complaining that her current man, a lovable roughneck named Badger, has run off. His longer-than-usual absence has Pauline worried, and Du Pré promises to look into exactly what sort of trouble he has gotten himself into.
No one quite imagines, least of all Pauline, that the first thing Du Pré will find in his investigation is Badger's body, lying in a remote part of the Montana wilderness with a bullet-hole in the base of his skull. Du Pré has a hunch his old friend and foil Harvey Wallace will be interested in the case-after all, Gabriel Du Pré's Montana is teeming with just the sorts of people that tend to interest Wallace's employers, the FBI, and the odds that Badger got mixed up with them seem inordinately high.
The trail leads straight into the teeming underworld of illegal, remote brush races involving a ragtag bunch of traveling horsemen, with many thousands of dollars wagered upon each race. Forced to go undercover to determine how Badger met his end, Du Pré finds his own horse and jockey to bet on in another complicated, fascinating outing for Montana's favorite Métis son.
Peter Bowen's tough, rough-edged, likable hero rides again in Stewball, an intricate installment in a classic series by one of the genre's quirkiest and most beloved practitioners.
Peter Bowen, a Montanan, writes of the West. Cowboy, hunting and fishing guide, folksinger, poet, essayist, and novelist, he's written the picaresque Yellowstone Kelly historical novels, humor columns and essays on blood sport as Coyote Jack, and the Gabriel Du Pré mysteries, in part because "the Métis are a great people, a wonderful people, and not many Americans know anything about them."

Summer vacation in their small Maine town does not look too promising until twelve-year-old Gina and four of her friends make a pact to become millionaires before school starts in September.

Uh, What? Bits Of Alligators Found All Over Williamsburg
Though one Williamsburg resident claims he's "seen way worse," news today of severed alligators limbs found in the Brooklyn neighborhood seems pretty bad to us. Yes, in a case that's baffling experts (or, well, at least one guy named "Jungle Bob") three fishy-smelling arms have been found seemingly purposefully placed around Williamsburg. There was one on a car seat, one on a grate, and one by a construction site.
Jungle Bob goes on, "This is certainly a mutilation situation, and it's a sick individual who would do that." Agreed. We certainly don't know why anyone would do this, and we're certainly confused as to what it all means, but we're definitely keeping a look out for strange reptilian parts popping up in unlikely places. It's heartbreaking, terrifying, and bewildering to boot. Until we have more answers: Later, gator. (BK Mag)
